My problem is that it was fucking depressing, and not organically depressing, but depressing in a way that made it seem like "being depressing" (and gritty and dark and shocking) was the main point and driving force of the miniseries and all the events that happened. Like, the message of the story is "everything sucks and humans are monsters and what the hell does the Doctor see in us anyway and our lives and all the stuff we thought was important is pretty much pointless and oh wait who cares none of that matters anyway because everyone died."

The story was told very well though, and very well-executed wrt pacing, suspense, acting, emotional moments, etc. I just disliked the whole damn thing from conception. I didn't really have much of a problem with the way it was executed (well, some of the plotholes are a bit noticeable in hindsight, but plotholes are damn hard to avoid in the Whoniverse) so it really comes down to whether you like the concept and conclusion of the story or not, IMO.
